Dr. Lucy Belcher
Owner, Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry
Dr. Lucy Belcher has been caring for patients in Central Kentucky since graduating from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 2017. After earning her dental degree, she went on to complete specialty training in periodontics and began practicing in 2020 at Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry under Dr. Mark King.
For two years, Dr. Belcher served patients as an associate before becoming part owner of two practices in London and Somerset. In June 2024, she returned to Georgetown Periodontics as the owner doctor, bringing her experience full circle back to the community where she first began her specialty career.
A Collaborative Approach to Care
Dr. Belcher believes patients should always be active participants in their own care. She takes time to explain every treatment option—including risks, benefits, and alternatives—so patients can make confident, informed decisions. Her goal is to ensure that every patient understands their treatment plan and feels comfortable moving forward.
Philosophy & Perspective
When asked about the biggest challenge in dentistry today, Dr. Belcher points to the rise of “Google doctors,” which has led patients to be overwhelmed or misinformed by the internet. She views part of her role as cutting through the noise with clear, accurate, and compassionate education tailored to each individual.
What Sets the Practice Apart
For Dr. Belcher, the difference comes down to people. Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is a privately-owned practice with a close-knit team that prioritizes comfort, trust, and long-term relationships. From the moment patients walk in the door, they can expect attentive staff, personalized care, and a doctor who is committed to both technical excellence and genuine compassion.
